wow, its really that simple? You should run for president.
I have no idea how old you are but I can assure you that there is at least one teen member of your family or a teen neighbor that shoots up pills or heroin. When it rears its ugly head and reaches out and touches you personally we'll see if your tune changes.

It is that simple, how hard is it to tell someone to back up out of your face when they ask you to do drugs with them? Everyday I see what drugs can do to people (junkies walking around), seeing junkies or not I wouldn't do drugs anyway.

This is coming from a teenager too.

This is the gateway: uncontrolled pharmaceutical advertising (pills are koool!), oblivious pill-popping parents (wha? not MY kids!), the proliferation of drive-thru pharmacies (there's a CVS every 500 feet on LI).

Legal drug sales is a billion dollar industry. So is Illegal drug sales.

We had a similar problem in our street sometime ago. I remember that between a certain hour, while I was walking my dog, I will see cars cruising a certain corner, talking to some kids from the neighborhood, and I began to get suspicious about what was taking place right under my nose. So I began to watch them, and taking their license plates, without they seeing me writing. This went on for a while, and I began to find small plastic bags on the ground.

I spoke to some of my neighbors, and we all began to watch the action, one of us at a time, not to look suspicious. Then we met with the local police, and gave them all the license plates. The police began to come around in UNMARKED CARS, and BINGO the dealer was caught, and put in jail where he belongs. Now, there is not a car in that street from the outside.

I think the mistake many parents make is that they feel that because their kids is in the corner of a residential area, he/she is safe, BUT THE CANDY MAN IS COMING TO THE FRONT DOOR................................... NOW.

Know what we should do? We should initiate a "War on drugs". That will cure it.

Legal drugs are more heavily advertised than the illegal ones. Just sayin'.

yeah seriously! I have said "no" a billion times. No one has ever said anything bad to or about me saying no...usually an "oh that's cool, man"...and if they do, then are they really people you want to be associating with anyway?
